Prepare Your Painting: Pour some gray paint onto a paper plate. Use the plastic fork to dip into the paint, then press and drag the fork on the white card stock to create an oval shape for Horton's head. Let it dry.
Cut Out Horton’s Features: While the paint dries, cut out two large elephant ears and a long trunk from the gray construction paper. Use the black marker to add details such as creases on the trunk and folds in the ears.
Create the Eyes: Cut out two white circles for the eyes from white construction paper, and two smaller black circles for the pupils. Glue the black circles onto the white ones.
Assemble Horton: Once the painted oval is dry, glue the ears and trunk onto it. Then, attach the eyes. Use the black marker to add tufts of hair on top of Horton's head and either eyebrows or eyelashes for a finishing touch.
Final Details: For a bit of whimsy, glue a green pipe cleaner near Horton’s trunk top it off with a pink pom pom to represent the clover flower that carries the Whos.
